To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, β€œIf you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31, 32 NIV)


7-11 Hot Pot Breakfast!

May 21, 2013

First time to try the 7-11 Hot Pot Product. I had 6 pieces of assorted meat balls and this cost me 70pesos! I reckon this is one of the best things that has ever happened coming from 7-11. A healthier choice in terms of food that is not deep fried! ^_^

Actually the sales guy at 7-11 told us it wasn’t ready for consumption yet, and the meat balls may not taste as good as it should. But since I was impatient, I went ahead and got it and just figured I could microwave it. Well, the guy was right, the shrimp meat was still compact inside and it didn’t absorb all the soup yet. But this stuffed tofu was amazing!

Now the only thing missing is Sriracha Chili! >.<

Preparing for Mt. Manabu!

Dizzy! Sick! Am I gonna barf all that Ferrero Roche Happy Pills I just had??

Breathe in… Breathe out… Phoooooeeeuuuuuwwww…

Just took the stairs to train my weak quadriceps. My condo building has 12 or 13 floors I can’t be too sure since one of the floors didn’t have numbers on the wall. I’ll take 12 as a definite number.

To get to each floor level it took 18 steps up the stairs. So that would mean from the ground floor, it takes 216 steps up.

I reached the 12th floor 4 times just then. That was 864 steps! Not a bad effort.. (*Taps self on shoulder)

Used my ipod Fitness app for the first time ever, and I set it to a “walk” pace. The whole duration took about 23mins with a distance of 1.60km.

I don’t know if I’m fit enough for this coming weekend’s hike up but I sure hope I can try to lose at least 1 kg this week so I’d be 1 kg lighter by the end of the week! Hey, its very minimal but at least thats 1 kg load of myself that I won’t have to carry all the way up! (Trying to be a positive thinker here)

πŸ‘ Wish me luck!


Jolibee Ultimate Steak.

May 19, 2013

20130519-153840.jpg

After church service, had a privilege of not eating lunch all by myself but had the company of these 2 wonderful beings, Salie and GoGo with me ^_^ Rachelle also joined afterwards but I didn’t manage to grab a shot but its ok :)

I usually only order Palabok whenever I’m at Jolibee, but because I just had Palabok at Jolibee yesterday and I saw the other orders that looked pretty tempting, I figured I should order something else for a change.

Tadaaaaa!!! For php 119, you can have steak, with rice, french fries and even an egg all in one! Thats even inclusive of a soda! Awesome!

Sunday morning service! At Victory Makati AIM Conference hall.

One of the most encouraging verses,

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13 NKJV)”

If we don’t have tests, we will never have a testimony!

Early lunch at Jolibee Harbor Square!

After our Tondo outreach today, onwards to Jolibee to get free lunch for the volunteers!

Met new friends too, Mr. Juan from another department is an Argentinian Japanese Speaking Language Analyst that joined the company outreach for the first time!


After hour shopping with @markybassig !

May 17, 2013

20130517-214755.jpg

From looking for hiking and mountaineering shoes, to ending up with getting other items that I don’t specifically need right now. Tsk! Girls!

Marky bit his tongue pretty badly during lunch and even while we’re going around the mall, his tongue was still bleeding so we stopped by Dairy Queen for some ice cream hoping it would help stop the bleeding a bit.

We went around looking for affordable shoes for my climb to Mt. Manabu next weekend and was looking for an Olympic Village branch here in Makati but didn’t manage to find any. And there weren’t any other brand of shoes for adventure and outdoors except for Merrell which was all 4k pesos and above and not on sale too! Bummer.

I did manage to go to the kids/boys section at SM department store and found a “New World Balance” brand that might fit the requirements but I’ll let the expert (Mikhail) do the review and approval before deciding to get it. It would save me 3K if I got those instead of the Merrells’!

So onwards to more window shopping and trying out many sun dresses that I couldn’t really fit. I did however manage to get one dress that cost me 1.1K pesos.

On a brief stop to the cr at the department store, I noticed the electric fragrance burner in the cr and thought how great it would be to have one for my stinky room too. And as soon as I got out of the cr, the lighting section was just in front of me and there I go asking whether they sell any of those electric fragrance burners around and finally I found them!

20130517-220324.jpg

This burner costs 399 pesos and the fragrance bottles were 99 pesos each. I got the Amber and Bamboo fragrance, which according to the sales lady were their best sellers!

After all that shopping, we finally ended up at the SM food court and had Rufos for dinner and I had Halo Halo (yes again!) for dessert before we both parted ways and headed home around 8:20pm.

Thankful for blessings and provision Lord!
